Zanu-PF Youth League Kudzanai Chipanga has hit back at Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) General Constantino Chiwenga telling him to account for the allegedly missing USD15 billion in diamond revenues. Chipanga said that Chiwenga and former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa were in charge of the diamond revenues. This comes a day after Chiwenga threatened that the military may intervene in politics.
In the press statement, Chipanga says:
As Commander of the Defence Forces Comrade Chiwenga, we await a report on the whereabouts of the missing 15 billion dollars as the army never accounted for the revenue after extraction. This money would go a long way in the obtaining hardships the soldiers are facing and improve their welfare and morale. Comrade Chiwenga cannot have his cake and eat it too. He also cannot benefit from his own mischief and misdeeds in that together with the former Minister of Defence now fugitive Comrade Dambudzo Mnangagwa, they dismally failed in the stewardship of revenue streams that flowed from Diamond concessions allocated to the Defence Forces whose sole purpose was cushioning the Defence Forces from economic hardships. A day will come when those responsible will have to account to the people.
